BISMARCK'S IRONS IN EVERY
EUROPEAN FIRE.


Renewed-A Scheme to Establish a
Central European 2ollverien as a
Facer for Russia.
lCoppight 1887 By the Ne,o York Associated
Press
BERLIN, Oct 1.-The coming conference
between Prince Bismarck and Sig. Crispi,
the Italian Prime Minister, completely over
shadows interest in the recent shooting
affair on the frontier Count Herbert Bis
marck left the Foreign Office this afternoon
for Buechen Junction in order to receive
Sig Crispi and accompany him to Freid-
richsruhe. The interview is regarded as of
supreme importance. 1t has especial refer
ence to the renewal of the military conven-
tion between Italy, Austria and Germany
The alliance of the central powers with
Italy in a general policy was renewed for
five years but the military conven-
ton for offensive and defensive
purposes covered only six months, from
March last to September. While Count
Kalnoky, the Austrian Prime Minister,
was at Freidrichsruhe, a dispatch was
sent to Sig. Crispi asking whether he was
ready to renew the convention. Prince Bis
marck also proposed an extension of the
period CONeTtu DY Uu6 COnNtnbOH. IJtlOIN
Count Kalnoky left Sig. Crispi promised
his support to the movement for an exten-
sion of the convention, and made arrange
ments to visit Prince Bismarck in order to
personally discuss the matter. This is the
first object of the interview, and must be
hailed as an effective assurance of peace for
many months to come.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE VATICAN.
Another question of special interest to the
Italian government will be negotiations
with the Vatican on the terms of a recon
ciliation. During the present week diplo-
matte action has become intensified over
these negotiations, and the knowledge that
Sig. Crispi is coming to Friedrichsruhe.
A note was sent yesterday by Cardinal
Rampolla, Papal Secretary of State, to all
the Papal Nuncios, instructing them
to keep the question alive by
Nuncios were further advised that
the Pope had referred the extent of the
possible concessions to the Holy See to the
College of Cardinals, whose recommends
tions would be communicated to the
Nuncios as soon as it was deemed advisable.
Mgr. Ruffa Scilla, the new Nuncio at
Munich, is expected to arrive in
Berlin about the middle of Octo
Der. His visit will be made
Galimberti, Nuncio at Vienna, is still
charged with the duty of watching the re-
lations between the State and church in
Germany, but the conduct of the question
between Italy and the Vatican is confded
10 Mgr. Scilla.
CENTRAL EUROPEAN ZOLLVERIEN.
Another project that Prince Bismarck is
credited with being deSirous of discussing
with Sig. Crispi is the creation of Cen
trail European Zollverein, including Ger
many Austria, Italy, Servia and Rou
mania. The project appears impracticable
in view of the existing international tariff
dissensions between Germany and Austria
and between Austria and Roumania, yet
the subject is treated gravely by the semi
official press as both desirable and possible
They hold it to be especially desirable as q
tremendous "facer to Russia"
The Cologne Gazette says that a Central
European Zollverein would render Ger
many entirely independent of Russian tim
ber, corn and cattle, and would realize the
object which has long been an ideal OF
many eminent political economists and
many practical statesmen. In official cir
cles it is believed that Prince Bismarck
has already made overtures to Sig. Crispi
for Italy to join the proposed Zollverien,
but nothing has transpired to show how the
italian government appreciates the gigantic
customs union scheme. Sig. CriSpi will
remain three days with Prince Bismarck
and will afterward 60 to Vienna to pleet
Count Kalnoky. The interviews are diplo.
matte successes of Prince Bismarck, and
must gall the French and Russian govern
ments.
A SIGNIFICANT NOTE.
In connection with the zollverien project
a significant semi-official note was sent from
Pesth to the German and Austrian press to-
night. This says that the act of Russia in
continually raising her customs tariff, and
thereby causing retallatory Ger
man measures, is tending toward
an entente between Austria and Germany
for the conclusion of a comprehensive com
mercial and customs treaty, furthering the
interests of both countries. This treaty
the note says, may become the basis of a
customs union of Central European powers
This communication, directly inspired by
the Austro Hungarian foreign Office, gives
consistency to the reports that Prince
Bismarck is trying to induce Italy to enter
the Zollverien.
KILLING OF THE GAME KEEPER.
The frontier affair, which has never been
regarded in Berlin SO seriously as in Paris
ends with the payment of an indemnity to
the game-keepers widow and an expression
of regret from the German govern.
ment If France insists upon the
punishment of Kaufman the demand
will not be granted The German official
inquiry proves that Kaufman acted ac-
cording to the letter of his instructions. TIC
further appease France Count Won Munster
has been authorized to inform NJ Flourens
that measures will be taken on the German
side of the frontier TO relax the severity OF
the code of regulations under which forest
rangers and other officials act. This will be
the extent of tine satisfaction accorded
France.
SOCIALISTS PROPOSED CONGRESS.
The projected International Socialist Con
gress, convoked under the auspices of the
Berlin committee, was secretly proposed to
be held at Pesth. Several German dele
gates, cu arriving at that place,
were warned by the police that they
would be instantly expelled if they
attempted to hold Il meeting. The Work
mems Associations of ienna and Pesth
have been advised that another location for
the congress has been decided upon. Liege
is now reported TO have been selected. The
fears of the Socialists that the coming ses-
sion of the Reichstag will approve of
further repression tends to restrain the
leaders from agitation. 1t is reported that
besides extending the Socialist law so as 10
include newspapers, the Reichstag will be
asked to re-establish the old sytem of the
''worlzbook, under which workman apply
ing for work must produce an arbeits buch
signed by his last employer, setting forth
the capabilities and character of the appli-
